Rambling ...

I'm an Irish Girl, A Dubliner, with the 'Gift of the Gab' ... I like to talk & to tell you things. In Celtic times news, views and comment were carried from place to place by wandering Seanachaí ~ Storytellers ~ who relied on their host's hospitality and appreciation. I will need that from you too, as I venture to share Politics, Poetry, Laughter, Love, Life & everything in-between ... from Bog to Blog!!

Falling Slowly ....


From Swerve of Shore to Bend of Bay ~ Dublin, James Joyce
  
Music for Monday!! 


From the Irish Movie 'Once'. 
Made in Dublin.  Like me.
A Story of an Irish Boy, a Czech Girl & a Song.
He plays guitar, she plays piano.
They jam together.  They make Music. And Magic.

And it is totally true .... Glen Hansard is an Irishman & Marketa Irglova is a Czech Girl,  who met in Dublin, Ireland.  The Movie is their story???

This track ~ Falling Slowly ~  won an Oscar & a Grammy in 2007.
(And last night in NYC, a Musical based on this movie won 8 Tony awards
WTG Indie Irish Filmakers!!!)


How Often do you meet the 'right' Person? .... Once


"I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me

And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along 
....."
